Type Locality specimen. From the collection of Jim Daly (#1143). The name has been made into a series by IMA nomenclature revision in 2010, changing the Type Locality designation to First Recorded Locality of unapproved mineral/variety/etc. This specimen is probably Fluorcalcioroméite in the new nomenclature.

From the collection of Jim Daly (#1064). The label notes Co-Type Locality; while it is true the mineral was first discovered at Palermo, it was not until the Hagendorf find that there was enough mineral for analysis, so the latter location is the accepted Type Locality. Jim's description was "A 4mm x 4.5mm vug of thick, dense, bundles of off-white accicular crystals. Note: Tilt piece under light - you should easily see it is dichroic. This is a rare aspect for Strunzite @ Palermo - most does not show dichroism".

From the collection of Jim Daly (#1076). The label reads Carbonate-Hydroxylapatite, but this has been discredited as being just Hydroxylapatite. Jim's description was "Prismatic crystals up to 2mm. They show distinct zoning and have yellow-brown 'caps' on flat terminations. The caps are probably iron stained Mitridatite".

Type Locality specimen. From the collection of Jim Daly (#1104). Jim's description was "a small ball of pure white, very thin, flat blades; look for the squared off terminations. Rare and, rare at Palermo".
